My Human Gets Me Blues

I saw you baby dancin' in your x-ray gingham dress I knew you were under duress I knew you were under yer dress Just keep comin', Jesus, you're the best dressed You look dandy in the sky but you don't scare me 'Cause I got you here in my eye In this lifetime you got my human gets me blues With your jaw hangin' slack and your hair's curlin' Like an ole navy fork stickin' in the sunset The way you were dancin' I knew you'd never come back You were strainin' to keep your old black cracked patent shoes In this lifetime you got my human gets me blues Well, the way you been, old lady, I could see the fear in your windows Under your furry crawlin' brow a silver bow rings up in inches You were afraid you'd be the devil's red wife But it's all right, God dug your dance And would have you young and in his harem Dress you the way he wants cause he never had a doll 'Cause everybody made him a boy And God didn't think to ask his preference You can bring your dress and your favorite dog And your husband's cane, and your old spotted hog 'Cause in this lifetime you got my human gets me blues --- My Human Gets Me Blues - Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band
